The reason the Government did not accept the pro- posal to make a s~-—ey of the real and ~ersonal proper’ .. une island is because . .uid be émbarrassing. ~nd would hamper the work of the assessu.. [his law provides for a board of valuation, and - do not 2xpept men who are quali- fied » sit on such a board without com- pe_.sation; it would not be fair. The Chairman remarked: 3rd Member for Christiansted Town (Alexander) made a motion that a commiitee of five members be appointed. ......... 3rd Member for Christiansted Town (Alexander): I made a suggestion, not a motion. The Chairman: Excuse me, [ thought you made a motion. Ist Member for Frederiksted Country District (Andersen) remarked: Mr. Chairman. I would like to raise a ques- tion to the Government Secretary —We have heard the Governor make compari- son between a small property in Was - ington and a cattle estate in St. Thomas, now I wish to.ask if the Government has considered th:t we are paying a large export duty on sugar raised on cane es- tates in St. Croix. That should be taken into coasideration. Kigat dollars per ton export t° X on suzar can just as well be called eight doliars tax per acre on sugar cane land, because the average recovery 3 ST.

' Government Secretary (Gaffrney) in re- ply to the last spoaker said,—That mat- ter. has been considered, but the sugar | industry must remember that tax on ~ sugar is not tax on land. You must also ' remembper that the Emergency Tariff | Bill provides for ° < dollacoppr. : .e united States. | Ist iMewmnber for Frederiksted Country District (Andersen) remarked: Mr. ' Chairman. I do not quite undersiand | the Government Secretary. I understand ' that these islands are United States . possessions, and I.also understand that ' no import duty is collected on articles entered into the United States from her | possessions. | Government Secretary (Gaffney) re- marked, Mr. Chairman. To be frank, I quite agree with the Honorable Mem- " ber that there is no export duty between the United States and any of Its posses- ~ sions; but there are many questions re- .~ garding this tax you would be asked to consider. This is not a tax of revenue only; we are not discussing whether the expori tax is constitutional or not; such a tax could be lowered to meet the n:w tax on land. ‘ Ist Member for Frederiksted Country . District {Andersen) remarked: Mr. . ~ Chairman. I am very much pleased to . ~ hear that from the Government Secre ' tary;icis only through cooperaiion v~ ' arrive at an understanding wk ' taxation is concerned. All
